Introduction

What Elyv is

Elyv is an investigation platform. You give it one identifier, a username, an email, a phone number, a domain, an IP address, a full name, an IBAN, a wallet or a company, and it checks the sources that can say something about it: more than 1,400 sites for a username, over 2,000 fediverse instances, more than 550 lookup modules and a breach index. Law enforcement, justice staff and mandated investigators can also get a verified account.

Everything it finds lands in one result, with the source of each value, and can be linked to other findings on a case board.

What it is not

• It is not a people finder for stalking or harassment. Accounts used that way are closed, see Responsible use.
• It does not hack, guess passwords or access private accounts.
• It does not keep its own copy of the internet. Sources are asked live when you search.
• It does not run an AI assistant. Correlations are computed from the values the sources return.
